About
The Local Government area of the Shire of Roebourne is experiencing massive population growth thanks to the large demands for the minerals and natural resources located in this area, predominantly iron ore and liquefied natural gas. The major centre of the Shire of Roebourne, and indeed the greater Pilbara is that of Karratha, where a wide range of education, social, shopping and recreation services are available.
The Shire contains another five town sites – the industry based Dampier and Wickham, the historic town of Roebourne and Cossack and the coastal Point Samson. It is interesting to note that of the 15,000 square kilometre land mass, all of these towns are located within a 50 km radius of each other.
The V Swans work closely with the community in the Roebourne Region to support volunteer, player, student and community development. Intimately involved in education, the V Swans also work with the North Pilbara Football League and the West Pilbara Junior Football Association to assist in the development of quality environments and programs.
Focused on community inclusion and participation, V Swans programs are inclusive of all ages, both genders, and all ethnic and racial backgrounds.
V Swans programs include Schools Active Programs at both High School and Primary Schools in the region, coach education, umpire development, youth mentoring, talent and pathway development , representative football, teacher professional development, AFL 9’s, AFL Masters and Pilbara AFL Women. The V Swans also act as executive officer to both the NPFL and the WPJFA.
The V Swans team in the Roebourne Region are currently working hard to diversify their footprint by establishing support structures and development opportunities non AFL programs.
